KANSAS
CITY, Mo. – Davenport women's soccer junior forward Paige Eli earned a spot in the
NAIA second-team All-America list while seniors Laken Duchar-Clark, Lizzie Paul
and junior Michelle Marcus have received an honorable mention, the national
office announced Thursday night. While this is the second time Eli's name has
been call on the All-America list, it is the first for Duchar-Clark, Paul and
Marcus.

Eli,
who was named an All-America honorable mention last season, served as one of
four captains and helped lead the Panthers to a second straight
Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference championship and a trip to the NAIA
National Championship quarterfinal round this season. She also scored the
match-winning goal that sent the Panthers to the quarterfinal round with a 3-2
double-overtime victory over Cumberland (Tenn.). The native of Huddersfield,
England recorded five goals and six assists for 16 points in 20 appearances.

Duchar-Clark,
who also served as a team captain this season for the Panthers, closed the book
on her career by being named WHAC Defensive Player of the Year and first-team
all-conference. While starting all but one of her 22 appearances, Duchar-Clark
scored three goals and notched one assist for seven points. The London,
England, native is one of two student-athletes to play every minute of the NAIA
National Championship, racking up 284 minutes of work.

Like
Duchar-Clark, Paul served as one of the four captains and was named the
conference's Offensive Player of the Year after shattering nearly every
single-season record in program history. While starting all but one of the 23
matches this season, Paul set a new school record for goals (23), points (54),
shots both overall (115) and on goal (54). She also netted a hat trick three
times, including back-to-back matches. The native of Manchester, England set
new all-time records for goals (55), points (131) and shots (329 total; 144 on
goal).

Marcus,
who was also named to the All-WHAC first team, got the starting nod for all 23
matches between the posts this season, owning a new program single-season
record and the nation's 10th best of 0.71 goals-against average and 60 saves. She
also broke the shutout record for the second consecutive season, blanking 14
opponents. In just two years with Davenport, Marcus owns the all-time record
for wins (36), shutouts (19) and minutes played (3865:17).
